E5.2 The Sun Stars, including the Sun, transforms matter into energy which is responsible for life processes and weather on Earth and have led to the formation of all the other chemical elements throughout the Cosmos.
Level 4-I can predict the best nights to view northern lights in Northern Michigan based on solar activity
Level 3- I can determine the relationships between events on the Sun to phenomena such as auroras, disruption of radio and satellite communications, power grid disturbances and the formation of other chemical elements similar to other stars in the Cosmos.
Level 2- I can describe how nuclear fusion produces energy in the Sun and how this reaction and other processes in stars have led to the formation of all the other chemical elements.
Level 1-I can identify and explain patterns in solar activities (sunspot cycle, solar flares, solar wind).
Level 0- I cannot yet identify patterns in solar activities (sunspot cycle, solar flares, solar wind).
